[QUOTE="Tuffjump, post: 754675, member: 15031"]I opened a roll of the prof. life cents and found 25 die cracks. Of the 25, 12 had identical cracks on the reverse. I shall try to describe: Starting at 11:00 the crack goes through the first T in states running south to his forehead, a loop goes east from the middle of the vertical stem of the T to the left corner of the A going back aand meeting the crack at the forehead, this loop seems to be filled with metal. Picking up the crack at hhe forehead the crack runs southwest down through his cheek down through his collar past the point of his collar running down the left side of his coat buttons ending just past the last botton. Another die crack starts with a small chip running south to the first fold in his pants. A final crack goes east from his left boot toe maybe 1/4 inch. This may be a trail. My questions are, is it unusual to find that many identical cracks in one roll and is what I'm seeing is the deteration of a die as the crack seems weaker on some coins and stronger on others? Not usually so long winded, thanks for your patience.[/QUOTE]
